Next week, the PS5 and PS4 are getting a handful of fresh titles that might catch your eye, even if the summer gaming drought is kinda still lingering. The lineup isn’t massive, but there are some notable names like Mafia: The Old Country, a gritty mob story, and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2, which brings more anime action. Plus, there’s even a cozy Hello Kitty adventure if you want something lighter.
So, what’s coming out between August 4th and 10th? Let’s break it down.
